Motion Photos not working - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

I used multiple GCam Mods (Arnova's, BSG's, Arthur's etc).
Motion photos used to work just fine.
I was on Liquid Remix 9.0.9 ROM and suddenly motion photos are not saved anymore.
I click with motion photos enabled, it shows processing HDR and as it is done, the photo is automatically removed.
This is also happening on AEX 5.4, but used to work earlier with same GCam mod versions.
I tried clean flashing pico, micro and mini Gapps too.
Nothing worked.
Also Google photos is taking 3-5 minutes to play a previously captured motion photo.

Having similar issue, motion photo was working on Pixel Experience, now on MIUI 9.5.10, tried editing build.prop if it is something to do with it, no luck.

It has nothing to do with build prop, all you need is Android 8.1 ROM and Pixel camera config set in gcam.
Also to play the motion photos you need Google Photos app, it won't work with AOSP gallery.

[Q] Archos 70it, third party camera apps don't work

Hello,
Camera applications, other then the stock camera app, fail to work.
They boot up just fine and show image appropriatly, but when taking a picture no image is saved. I have tested a few camera apps, particularly Vignette demo and Paper camera.
Paper camera: this one shows the shutter animation, but nothing is saved.
Vignette demo: application informs that a picture is taken and then freezes.
The stock camera application however saves the pictures just fine to the sd card,
Does anyone have any idea of how this problem could be solved?
Many thanks in advance
On my A32 the only other cam app i can get to work is fast burst, It gives you a few more options than stock. I have tried every other cam app i can find with no luck, i have noticed that the scanner now works in google shopper with the new firmware.

Google Camera - Photosphere

Is there any ROM in which Google Camera photosphere works?
In all I tested so far the images in photosphere are blurry.
Regular images are ok.
Same problem here...
I have the same problem. When you talk about Google Camera, did you tried original app that is not visible in the Google Play search (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera) or Cardboard Camera that is returned when I search Google Play store for Google Camera (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.vr.cyclops) . Google Camera works much better but not ideal
Google Camera works for me in general.
4K Video does not work (not important to me, other app can be used)
Photosphere is blurry (big issue for me, since there is no alternative)
I also tried the photosphere coming from Google Streetview - it has exactly the same issue, blurry results.
My assumption is that the issue originates somehow from drivers coming with CM/Lineage.
Since this issue exists also on other phones. E.g Note 3: There it works with stock, but not on the majority of custom ROMs.
Exception on Note 3 is the Resurrection ROM. It works fine there.
Unfortunately Resurrection does not help on LeMax.
Same problem here with Marshmallow and EUI 23s.
I don't think there's a way to fix this

Which is the best Google camera build?

I've tried several Google camera builds but most of them crash while processing photos. So I'd like to know that which Google camera build with portrait mode and hdr+ works the best without crashing?
Mee too
Urikill
Me too. I'm searching for a working Google Camera port from 2 months. I have had installed Pixel Experience custom rom as soon as I bought my phone and then I tried A LOT of Google Camera ports: BSG, Arnova, UriKill, cstark, Skulshady, Toylan, scrubber and so on... They always have FC (more or less), some of them doen't even start, or have bad quality photos, or too pink... or too FCs.
Then I changed to Lineage OS 15.1... same story: tried the most GCam ports... same results!
Today I reverted back to stock (MIUI 9.5)... installed Arnova's v7beta9... and till now I haven't had FCs!! And with stock camera I can record slow motion videos (this is not possible with gcam port)!!
But I really don't like MIUI. Even with Magisk's Pixel module.
I have been using this GCam ver. 4.4.012.156195200.build.41155109 for many months now on stock MIUI rooted with Magisk. After each OTA update I just reflash the magisk image and change the build.prop for enabling Camera 2 API, and I get it working again. The slo-mo is buggy which I found fixed using the "Google Camera Patch" in magisk repo.
Here's the link for the apk I use: drive . google . com/file/d/1iXAkhIAq4kpGsn7u_eGBMeURknJR64p6/view?usp=sharing
You can also find the apk on Android FileHost.
P.S. I can't confirm it working with any custom rom. I am on MIUI 9.2.2.0 now and it works flawlessly (HDR of stock camera doesn't work with Cam 2 API enabled)
And XDA didn't let me share the link directly
It's a very old version, not supporting "Portrait Mode", is'nt it?
It does
HDR+ : Rear
Potrait mode (Lens Blur): Both rear and front
And I should add that the HDR+ works really well... seriously!
Can you send a screenshot / link of the exact Magisk module you're talking about?
If you're talking to me, I mean the "Pixel 2 Experience" module (v. 4.4)
The module's name is "Google Camera Patch" created by "simonsmh"

Themes / Apps / Mods GCam ports discussion

I tried a couple of Gcam ports and found that while I could take photos fine, the screen is blank when I attempt to record videos.
Is there a port that works correctly?
On a side note, how does one turn off beautification in the stock camera app?
Edit: PX8.1 by Urnyx05 seems to work.

video audio not working
You must restart the phone after installation. Then the sound works.
I found and set the functional camera to select the lens.
Gcam7.3.018_Greatness.Build2.3.apk (camera)
main[1].xml (my config file)
1) Install the camera. Uninstall the previous GCAM if you cannot install.
2) Start the camera and go to the settings. Config>Save>"a" (SAVE).
3) File main[1].xml copy to /sdcard/gcam/Configs7/
4) Start the camera, double-click this place (photo below) select main file>RESTORE
You get the settings, Wide, Main, Macro lens.
Video works only in normal mode. Slow doesn't work.
EDIT: Only the video recording with sound does not work here due to a current kernel custom rom bug.

Awesome, just got this on mine and can confirm it works on nezuko rom, if anyone is curious. Thanks man.
If you have the latest version of Vendor from Miui, slow video will work.
So everything will work in this GCAM!
also works on dotOS 5.0.1 with microG (no Google Play Services & Play Store).
The problem with video recording must be caused by the phone's sleep mode.
Maybe it turns off some codec that takes care of merging image and audio.
Certainly not a problem during the recording process.
The problem definitely arises at the moment of merging the two recorded tracks.
Some cameras will shut down at this point, other cameras save the video with the tracks behind (only the sound is played and only after that the image is played), other cameras save only the image itself.

This could be it. But, I am still hoping this is fixed in next update. I record at least once a month or two so this is going be annoying even for me soon enough.

Do you know which config file to use for all 3 lenses (wide/main/macro)?
No idea but seems to work with all 3 cameras out the box, the 1x, 1.4x, 1.8x options switch between the lenses. Not sure how to make config files but trying to do things like record time lapse videos on the 1.8x option will crash the app.

How is astrophotography not working? For me it automatically turns on under night camera when the conditions are right.

Unfortunately, we didn't get anywhere. Nothing changes with this camera. Still, the video only works after restarting the phone, after a while the audio recording doesn't work.
Before anyone reports a working Gcam again, please verify that the camera can still record video and audio after using the phone for a while.

BSG GCam 8.1 working fine, but after loading Marcos-BSG-MGC-8.1.xml config slow motion is broken.

Hello,
I use LOS without any google services. For the Gcam to work, I use the "Gcam Service Provider" fake from Fdroid.
When I install the Gcam BSG's 8.1: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV2b, time lapse works without problems. Unfortunately, then the front camera hangs and the colors are a bit too weak.
After loading the recommended config Marcos-BSG-MGC-8.1.xml the front camera works fine and the colors are ok, but slow motion is then unfortunately broken (camera crashes).
Does anyone here know what I have to adjust the Config .xml or what it is?
Thanks in advance
